My chair makes a rubbing/squeaking noise. I've tried tightening/loosening the screws and also WD-40 all the moving parts. Any ideas how to fix?

Ours too, not too bad though, but check gaps between slider parts make sure nothing is rubbing and body of chair and glide parts.

Mine has done that as well... Just took it apart and made sure nothing was caught in the gear ... Reassembled and no more noise.... Good luck

We too had the jar of red wheel bearing grease. However, it was the bolts. My husband was obviously and over achiever in putting it together and made sure it was good and tight. However, when the bolts were loosened the noise totally stopped and there hasn't been the slightest squeek since. Good Luck!

Mine is quiet as well. No sounds on tilt. I recommend you contact the Boss Chair customer service hotline: 1-800-593-1888. I had a problem during assembly and they were able to help me via phone.

No squeaks. I called customer service at the company once and they were so good. Why not try that?

I have this chair and do not have this issue. You may want to contact company.

If you are speaking of the brush head, once you have the screws out just pull straight out. The belt is tight. I found the answer to the noise(if that is what you are doing) is to take and trim or carefully file to remove that small bit that may be rubbing. You have to do it running to keep it true. Once I trimmed the noise maker this unit has proven it is money well spent

Yes i do have.. But i got rid of that by pouring some lubricant to the place it squeaks. It was good for like 2 weeks but now again i hear the squeak sound.

Sorry - never had a problem with loud squeaking! With previous similar machines I have had, I never had to disassemble the back part (usually called the 'flywheel') - just had to lube the parts that the peddles connected to, front and back. I used lithium grease - don't bother with oils like 3-in-1, etc.

Adding my situation, had the dreaded squeaking on the left pedal, confirmed it was the rubber wheel against the rail bar. Tried all the solutions, loosening the arm nut, lubrication, but nothing worked. The noise got worse, and now the right side is making noises too. Drives me furious and kills my mood during exercise.

There is an almost continuous creaking sound emanating from behind the seat where the sliding seat meets the seat track. It appears that the two do not fit snugly, even when the knob is tightened, leading to this very annoying sound. I've tried inserting a rubber wedge into the place where the track and seat meet, but it still doesn't solve the problem.

Hi. Mine is also new - used for the first time yesterday. It does NOT squeak or make a zipping sound. You should check it out. Good luck.

Found the problem with mine. Either the top of the motor or the belt were making occasional contact with the belt cap retainer. I greased the inside or the belt cap retainer and the noise is gone.

No it's not noisey & squeaky matter fact after about 8 months one of the screws stripped and it can no longer be used:( I just gave up working out at home and joined the gym the quality of this elliptical is no way near the gym!! Hope this helps it's just a coat rack for my guests now.

Call the company, it may still be under warranty and they can send you a new chair. Otherwise they should at least offer a solution to the problem. Glad you are using your chair. Sorry you are having problems , i hope this helps out. Find your paper work and call them. Good luck.

No I haven't exprienced this issue. My problem was the wheel started to get very squeaky. I sprayed a little WD-40 in it & it's working fine now :-)
